In the kitchen of designer Allison Willson’s own Edwardian home, she used brass to tie the space together. The stainless steel hood was trimmed to match the cupboard hardware, faucet and island light fixtures, creating a nice mix of silvers and golds.

In a Muskoka, Ontario, cottage the designers went with a classic polished tin freestanding tub to bring some glamor to the rustic principal ensuite.

In a quite sitting area off the living room, a mix of silvers, bronzes and golds further adds to the home’s glam feel without being too overwhelming. A neutral wall color and dark glossy floors help keep things grounded.
